Quick info
About Pakistani Restaurant Tooting - Spice Village
Spice Village serves Pakistani food on Upper Tooting Rd, with table service bringing dishes to the table and a separate takeaway line at busy times to keep collection moving alongside eat-in seating. The halal menu runs through recurring dishes including butter chicken, chicken jalfrezi, and chicken biryani, with mango lassi to drink and hot naan and other breads alongside. Poppadoms and other starters arrive with chutney, and takeaway curry orders are sealed to prevent spillage in transit. The restaurant opens daily, and reservations are recommended given how busy service gets for both eat-in and takeaway. A private dining room is available for groups, high chairs suit families with young children, and a step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs. The restroom includes a stand-alone sink outside the bathroom for handwashing.

Customer Review Summary
Butter chicken draws repeated praise, with reviewers describing it as creamy and melting in the mouth, and close behind it the lamb chops, chicken tikka, and Chicken Biryani earn similar enthusiasm, alongside desserts like the Kheer and Malai Lotela Cake and a well-liked mango lassi. Garlic naan and grilled chicken wings also get singled out, though one diner found the sweet lassi too watery and another noted the keema naan too spicy. Service is most often called attentive and welcoming, with several regulars saying staff remember them and tailor spice levels to preference, and one group praised quick handling of a busy takeaway queue with well-packed containers. A recurring trade-off is that during peak times dishes can taste overcooked or arrive cold: one reviewer reports a twenty-minute wait before ordering, all courses landing at once, mains stone cold, and the naan burnt and hard, leading them to recommend going elsewhere. Another visitor found the chicken curries oily and too similar to each other, with a biryani served as plain chicken instead of tikka. Several suggest visiting on quieter weekdays to avoid this, and one wedding party recalled a manager who stayed personally attentive throughout their celebration.

“Great service, very quick and efficient 😌 We were impressed by how friendly the staff were- always smiling and happy to assist! Especially Daim stood out with his great hospitality and it was like he knew our wishes before we could even speak them out. We are visiting from Germany, we came here on our last trip and will definitely come again on the next trip. The food is absolutely delicious- starters and mains. The cherry on top was the kheer that we were offered on the house🤩”
